Our Site Rules

At RED 1 AIRSOFT we are strong advocates of safety, and whilst Airsoft is a hobby sport we promote the attitude that Airsoft replicas (RIF's - Realistic Imitation Firearm's or IF's Imitation Firearms e.g. brightly painted replicas) should be given the exact same respect if not more than their larger caliber lead slinging counterparts. This will if only safeguard the hobby sport that is Airsoft in the United Kingdom.
